Finally, I loved the ending and its sardonic twist; it is Red Riding Hood who not only kills the wolf, but then kills the remaining pig and has him made into a traveling case. While the reader naturally believes that Red Riding Hood is there to help the pig, she in fact is more dangerous than the wolf she was called in to kill. As the poem says, "Ah, piglet you must never trust young ladies from the upper crust," and can be viewed as a warning to the reader to be wary of those who seem to be helping when in fact they may only be helping themselves. (Dahl) The twisted ending is also a humorous alternative to the traditional tale which uses a character from a different nursery rhyme as a comedic prop. One must remember the story of Red Riding Hood and the ruthless way she pretended to be deceived by the wolf when in fact she was getting close enough to strike. The new ending to the "Three Little Pigs" is a stark and funny reminded of exactly who Red Riding Hood was and her true nature.
In one has when dealing with something that was once believed to be sacrosanct. You have opened my mind to new possibilities and for that I thank you.

When the pigs take refuge in the second house, their case is similar to the one when the Natives have been constantly trying to defend their territory. In spite of their attempts, they have been pushed back and sent into reservations by the new-comers. The wolf had been blinded by his greed and did not pay any attention to the suffering that he caused along his migration toward the west. At
The roof of the house peeks above the trees, and in the bottom right foreground are two logs, perhaps representing obstacles. In the bottom left foreground, a pig with nap-sack is walking into the frame, heading down the lane. In the distance are hills, representing adventure and perhaps the unknown.

By the end of the year, United States wished to look for another person to replace Fulgencio Batista. It is also thought that Batista was suggested that the CIA should assassinate Fidel Castro but Batista rejected the offer (Hugh Thomas, p.30). The then Director of CIA, after Castro took over stated verified that Castro was not inclined towards Communism and that any American intervention before the takeover or at
Lenin to Gorbachev: Three Generations of Soviet Communists The quote by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles which introduces chapter one of this book, has a certain philosophical appeal, and yet it is cloaked in an irony that illustrates the dark side of what Marx and Engles were promoting. "In place of the old bourgeois society...we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the
